Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs
2 lbs lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
8 ounces Provolone cheese slices

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a large (9×5) loaf pan with cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, blend the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and eggs until smooth. Add the ground beef, sautéed vegetables, and panko breadcrumbs, and mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Press half of the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Lay half of the provolone cheese slices in a single layer through the center of the meatloaf, about 2 inches wide. Top with the remaining meat mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the remaining provolone cheese slices, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, be sure to sauté the vegetables before mixing them into the meatloaf. This step enhances the flavors and ensures that the vegetables are fully cooked. If you prefer a different cheese or need to make the dish gluten-free, feel free to substitute ingredients as needed. This meatloaf also freezes well, making it a convenient option for meal prep.
